Brief summary
The goal of this project is to engage community members from two low-income African American communities (N=200) in a survey study that assesses stigma toward those with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Those from the intervention community will be subject to a stigma reduction campaign via billboards. Those from the control community will not. Stigma will be re-assessed following the period of the campaign.
